Let your inner artist bloom as you craft a Playful Plant Pal.
Inspired by our exhibition City in the Sun, this MoB Kids activity invites you to take a leaf out of exhibiting artists Christopher Bassi and Laura Patterson’s book to explore how flora has shaped Brisbane’s subtropical identity.
Using simple craft supplies, this activity will guide you through a step-by-step process to create a Croton, Monstera Vine or Bird of Paradise from your home studio.
